  9. Future work • Need better understanding of NS activity • Need North Sea satellite account • Need to adjust onshore analysis/SCDI ? • Need to set this in BoP framework • Challenge “balanced book” approach • Investigate other components (CoE in GDHI etc) • Consider apportionment methodologies • Help required!
